The past week feels like it’s flown by in the blink of an eye. Working freelance, no two days ever look *quite* the same, and a recent influx of projects has been keeping me very busy. Clearly, trying to manage my work-life balance is still something I’m trying to figure out, but putting boundaries in place – like wrapping up the day at 6.00pm, and working less on weekends – has definitely helped.

I don’t think I ever experienced as big a shift in my *style* mindset as when I crossed the line from my twenties into my thirties. While I ascribe to the mantra that you should wear what you want, regardless of your age, to me it signalled a desire to dress slightly sophisticated. Keeping in mind that I work at home, of course.

There’s this saying I often use to describe my approach towards my wardrobe: champagne taste on a beer budget.

You may have picked up by now that I tend to dress based on a handful of simple styling guidelines. Day-to-day, I want to look effortless, chic, and pulled together in an effortless way. But like everyone else, I don’t have time to spend hours picking out my outfits. Monochrome is often an easy fallback, but when I want to jazz up my look with some colour or print, I stick to the three colour rule. Wearing Boden v-neck sweater, Boden pleated skirt, The Curated camel coat, Everlane day heels, Everlane day tote mini (review here), Mejuri earrings & zodiac…
This month’s beauty edit is pretty heavy on makeup; safe to say I went ham on the concealers this past month, all in search of ‘the one’. I don’t often get worked up for a beauty sale, but couldn’t resist when I spotted Priceline were offering 1/2 price off most makeup lines, which was ample temptation for me to stock up on some new (to me) drugstore makeup.
